16 Best Face Scrubs

Wondering which of the best face scrubs made our list? According to our readers, these scrubs are the best face exfoliators around

We tend to stick to the same three skin care basics: cleanser, moisturizer and sun protection (if we remember). Sure, a lot of women do the occasional face mask or splurge on a facial, but there is one super important step many tend to forgo too often: exfoliating.

For some reason, we assume that as long as we're using a cleanser and applying sunscreen, we're doing "enough." Well, as it turns out, enough is not good enough if it's glowing, radiant skin you're after.

According to doctors Gina and Sid Dinesh, dermatologists in Beverly Hills, California, adding exfoliation to your skin care routine helps the natural shedding process of skin and encourages healthier, smoother, more even-toned skin. Some of the big beauty benefits? Acne prevention, smaller pores, wrinkle reduction -- and it even helps all those fancy (read: spendy) moisturizers absorb into the skin.

Since it can be overwhelming to sift through the hundreds of scrubs and exfoliation products out there, we've done the work for you. We rounded up a complete list of the best face scrubs, according to TotalBeauty.com readers. This detailed guide will help you choose the perfect scrub for your face so you can say hello to that gorgeous skin that's just waiting to be revealed.

This story completely left out the best product on the market. Pernox face scrub has the most scrub particles to go along with salicylic acid to get rid of dead skin and oil. It's only drawback is the price of twenty five bills per 4 oz tube. I have been looking for a cheaper alternative but apparently Pernox is the best in both categories, effectiveness and price. If you want to get your acne under control I recommend Pernox Face Scrub. I have used it every day for over 25 years and can't live without it.
